[ADA17_HUMAN] Defects in ADAM17 are a cause of neonatal inflammatory skin and bowel disease (NISBD) [MIM:614328]. NISBD is a disorder characterized by inflammatory features with neonatal onset, involving the skin, hair, and gut. The skin lesions involve perioral and perianal erythema, psoriasiform erythroderma, with flares of erythema, scaling, and widespread pustules. Gastrointestinal symptoms include malabsorptive diarrhea that is exacerbated by intercurrent gastrointestinal infections. The hair is short or broken, and the eyelashes and eyebrows are wiry and disorganized.[1]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

A series of potent thiol-containing aryl sulfonamide TACE inhibitors was designed and synthesized. The SAR and MMP selectivity of the series were investigated. In particular, compound 4b has shown excellent in vitro potency against the isolated TACE enzyme and good selectivity over MMP-2, -7, -8, -9, and -13. The X-ray structure of 4b bound to TACE was obtained.
